@@abi1158 Of course, I am greek so I would love to explain it to you. So basically the Illiad is a book written by Homer. And it talks about the Trojan war, that happened because Paris, the prince of Troy kidnapped Helen, the wife of Menelaus, the king of Sparta and took her to Troy. So that basically started the Trojan war, that lasted 10 years. The line "baby I am the Illiad of course you couldn't read me" ( qs I understand it) is basically Maisie, resembling herself to the Illiad, that is a book really difficult to read for some people, especially if you want to read it in it's original writing. So she means that that person could not understand her like they can't understand the Illiad. Hope that helped
@@chryssie22omgosh thank you for your explanation! That is so interesting and your explanation really showcases the depth of Maisie’s writing. She is a genius
''Baby I am the Iliad, of course you couldn't read me' OMGGGG I LOVE HOW MANY REFERENCES TO ANCIENT GREEK MYTHS AND BIBLICAL ALLUSIONS ARE IN HER MUSIC THAT IS MY FAVOURITE LINE FROM THIS ENTIRE ALBUM!!
It was a really different song from the others but honestly is my favourite one! Especially the chorus ❤😭 in the first time listening to it I fell in love. SUCH A BOP!!!!!
Just discovering Maisie thanks to Ed Sheeran sharing her amazing song Girl’s House and that song is really good too! Loving Run as well! Can’t wait to listen to more!
Your face in fluorescent Looks different in the daylight Like, was it a love affair Or just a lot of late nights? Like you had the speaking parts But I guess I was the playwright, oh, oh, oh I couldn't escape you Like the airwaves of the bassline And I couldn't erase you Like a tattoo on my waistline If it was a first kiss How come it felt like a snakebite? Oh, oh, oh I wish I woulda seen it sooner Why did it take me ages to say it? I wasn't your cliché Oh no, this is my coming of age Oh, oh, my coming of age Oh, oh, my coming of age I'm caught in new ground And I'm burning all your CDs Baby, I am the Iliad Of course you couldn't read me So, I'll leave you behind But that don't mean it's easy, oh, oh, oh I wish I woulda seen it sooner Why did it take me ages to say it? I wasn't your cliché Oh no, this is my coming of age I send my silence away Printing my blood on the page You stole my love and I paid But you couldn't keep What you couldn't take I know I made you the big star I let you butcher my big heart But it's my song and my stage And it's my coming of age Why did it take me ages to say it? I wasn't your cliché Oh no, this is my coming of age I wish I could've seen it God, I wish I could've seen it God, I wish I could've seen it God, oh god, I wish that I could've seen it, god

"Baby I am the Illiad of course you couldn't read me"
OMG, Maisie's writing!😭 She is amazing❤

Your face in fluorescent
Looks different in the daylight
Like, was it a love affair
Or just a lot of late nights?
Like you had the speaking parts
But I guess I was the playwright, oh, oh, oh
I couldn't escape you
Like the airwaves of the bassline
And I couldn't erase you
Like a tattoo on my waistline
If it was a first kiss
How come it felt like a snakebite? Oh, oh, oh
I wish I woulda seen it sooner
Why did it take me ages to say it?
I wasn't your cliché
Oh no, this is my coming of age
Oh, oh, my coming of age
Oh, oh, my coming of age
I'm caught in new ground
And I'm burning all your CDs
Baby, I am the Iliad
Of course you couldn't read me
So, I'll leave you behind
But that don't mean it's easy, oh, oh, oh
I wish I woulda seen it sooner
Why did it take me ages to say it?
I wasn't your cliché
Oh no, this is my coming of age
I send my silence away
Printing my blood on the page
You stole my love and I paid
But you couldn't keep
What you couldn't take
I know I made you the big star
I let you butcher my big heart
But it's my song and my stage
And it's my coming of age
Why did it take me ages to say it?
I wasn't your cliché
Oh no, this is my coming of age
I wish I could've seen it
God, I wish I could've seen it
God, I wish I could've seen it
God, oh god, I wish that I could've seen it, god
coming of age is lost the break up's twin sister!!!
"Baby, I am th Illiad of course you couldn't read me" ?!?!? what a line. akdfldai
❤❤❤
This is fckng masterpiece
You stole my love and i paid WAAAW
